Many board-executive director issues stem from untrained board presidents who fail to provide feedback or performance reviews. This leaves executive directors walking on eggshells. Equipping presidents with management experience or training is vital for effective leadership and a healthy organizational culture.

“People-first” isn’t a cute slogan. It’s a standard. 💥

In this week’s episode, I’m joined by the incredible Gabriela Norton to talk about what it *actually* looks like to build a people-first nonprofit culture—one where your team knows what’s expected, feels supported, and is held to clear, fair standards. 🙌🏽

We’re digging into:
✨ Setting expectations that aren’t fuzzy or “implied”
📋 Creating job descriptions + handbooks that people actually use
🚦 Holding people accountable *without* burning them out
🧠 Leadership that models boundaries, clarity, and real transparency
🌱 How healthy culture becomes your greatest retention strategy

If you’re tired of chaos, confusion, and “we’ve always done it this way,” this conversation is your permission slip to do it better—for you, your team, and your mission. 🎧🔥

Tune in to the full episode of Boss Level Engaged 2.0 and let’s build workplaces that *work* for people.

As a nonprofit grows, it evolves differently than its founder. Realize your company won't love you back the same way. Boards protect the mission, not the person. This creates a necessary defusion of identity.

What happens when your mission outgrows *you*? 👀

In this week’s episode of The NonProfit Nook, I’m sitting down with Luke Mickelson, founder of Sleep in Heavenly Peace, to talk about building beds for kids who need them… and battling something most founders don’t want to admit they have: Founder’s Syndrome. 🛏️🔥

We go *there* — the control, the identity, the fear of letting go, and what it really takes to move from “this is my baby” to “this is our mission.” Luke gets raw about:
✨ Scaling a heart-driven nonprofit without burning out
✨ Handing over the reins (even when it terrifies you)
✨ The ugly side of ego and the freedom on the other side

If you’ve ever thought, “No one can do this like I can,” this episode is your mirror and your wake-up call. 🎧

Hit play, take notes, and then ask yourself: are you building an organization that can thrive *without* you in the center?
